I’m from west Illinois bordering Iowa and we all say pop. I went on a trip to Space Camp once in Alabama and when we asked where we could get a pop they thought we were asking for pipes, since they were pronounced the same way. I also asked for a regular Coke and they kept asking me “What kind?!”.

As I'm able to genuinely relate to all the issues with the automotive industry, I've truly discovered it to be far more daunting than anticipated to discover unique and useful posts.Minivan Comparison

well in south Texas when someone says “You want some Coke?”
they’re referring to cocaine.

It’s probably closer to asking to see a selection of Chevy’s and then being asked what brand of automobile you’re looking to buy.

On a side note, I get quite frustrated when I ask for a coke at a restaurant and later realize I’m sipping a pepsi. I really appreciate servers who clarify “Is pepsi okay?” Because I’ll always go for Dr.Pepper at that point

in Eastern Scotland (Edinburgh & Lothians area) we say ‘juice’ – which is probably a bit weird now i think about it, or we might say ‘fizzy juice’ to clarify for anyone under the mistaken impression that we mean a healthy drink made from fruit! and just occasionally, for a laugh, we might say ‘fizzy pop’. But never ever ever ‘soda’ – unless we are saying ‘whisky & soda please’

I grew up in Springfield, in the 50s/60s. It was always Pop. But I think sufficient people have moved into the area, especially from that bastion of the English language, St. Louis, that you would now hear both Pop and Soda.
